[MENTION=23180]axle2152[/MENTION], you certainly do have a category. You are the absolute epitome of the perfect Axle and you are damned good at it! Stay that way!

For those who keep running across terms that baffle there is a great site: urbandictionary.com

Quite educational and amazingly silly at times.

[Emiliano]

I've never heard rice queen to refer to the Asian guy himself. Ive always known it to refer to the non Asian man who exclusively dates/fucks Asians. I also think [MENTION=23369]Boaxy[/MENTION] was using polite language with some of those... lol.


Personally, I think all these labels and categories are stupid and encourages a lot of the behaviors I dislike about some aspects of the gay community. I feel like it comes from how some people just like fitting in and having a group identify. Not everyone is as hung up on it as others.

[Scruff Bunch]

There's all kinds of labels... I hate it. Why are we as a "community" find more ways to label everyone based on their appearance...

Makes it easier to get the kind of sexual partner that you want and theres nothing wrong with that.  For me the problem only arises when those terms crop up outside of purely sexual conversations.

It's completely classless to introduce people to your friend as a "bear". You introduce them to your friend Stan a quick-witted habatchi chef with an interest in music. It's just a question of priorities.

"Stan" is a name label.
"Quick-witted" is a personality label.
"Habatchi chef" is a job/hobby label.
"Music" is a hobby label.

Wait until you start looking up dating profiles or ginder profiles. That shit looks like the alphabet threw up on itself and choked a few times, and threw up the rest.

Oh yeah the grindr "tribes"

It's crazy... Labels are things we can do without. I'm sure people can find the type of guy they want without labeling each other...

You say this...

And then use a label to identify the music you are talking about.

Lol "labels are something we can do without".

No. They literally are not. It is not about pigeonholing yourself. No one "runs around telling everyone" what their label is. No one is introducing their friends by identifying their appearance. It is about using language to communicate; to identify yourself; to relate to others.

Tell me what music you like without using labels.
Tell me what kind of guy you like without using labels.
Tell me what kind of work you do or would like to do without using labels.
Tell me what you would search for online as a gay teenager in somewhere like Afghanistan without using labels.

Or perhaps realise that many others do share the safe and care-free world that you live in.
